The simplest solution on a static mirror that I can see for this would be (with nginx) a "missing files" rule that redirects to PyPI. However, that would be bad form as that would cause *any* 404-triggering request on a mirror to hit the upstream server - bad for bots.
Even if you limited it to just the /packages subtree? I guess I'm not sure what scenario results in bot-havoc for a partial mirror. I mean, wouldn't partial mirrors be basically private?
